You got a for a post that is a realistic appraisel of our future. Now we may know why billionaires want survival bunkers, they want their kids to be ones of the few, of the future.It really was not about anger. It was about bullshit. Reason stood forth and cried out "Listen to me!", but the cry of reason was no match for the relentless typhoon of bullshit. It is not clear if there is a viable tool for fighting that, especially when every media source supports it.
I am despondent. I woke up in the middle of the night and the burn was stronger than ever. I take faint comfort in the fact that the country is going to basically collapse (in large part due to the environmental damage that we have been accelerating for decades) and the RW will not escape the blame for it. The national and global situation is going to get very ugly before the end of the decade, which will not work in favor of whosoever is in power.
But it will also not be good for most of the rest of us. I believe there will eventually be progress, out of the ashes, but few of us here will be around to see it.
I enjoy this life, but more and more the thought of checking out does not bother me. There’s a good chance that I picked the “From Plenty To Ashes” scenario out of The Earth Simulator catalog, because I wanted mostly a good time, with a bang of an ending.
